Opportunities like this event that allow you to shift your mindset, work more cohesively and showcase learned fabrication skills do not come up that often. When they do come, stop and take note, realize the importance and commit to attend. The value of absorbing this learning experience in person is priceless and that’s why I’ll be bringing my entire install leadership team to MasterTech Expo.​

​MasterTech training opened my eyes to new fabrication methods and motivated me to be better at my job every day. If not for attending multiple MasterTech sessions over the years, I’d never have had the opportunity to join the team of talented professionals at West Coast Customs. I’m looking forward to attending the MasterTech Expo in March 2022. The collaborative, hands-on nature of the training is a game-changing career boost and I highly recommend it.
